William Forsythe Project "The Blake Works"
William Forsythe is one of the most important contemporary choreographers. After his career as a dancer, he became the ballet director of the Frankfurt Ballet and then founded The Forsythe Company.
The William Forsythe evening is entitled “The Blake Works” and is the first complete version of Prologue, The Barre Project and Blake Works I as a continuation of his choreographic works that William Forsythe presents for the Ballet of La Scala in 2023.
Expect a new and unprecedented evening where Forsythe’s latest creations will be presented as a ballet sequence composed to the music of the dynamic British composer James Blake.
